Sega shared today a first look at the limited edition "Rising Dragon" PlayStation 3 hardware bundle it has planned for Ryu ga Gotoku 3, the Japanese version of the game that will presumably come out here as Yakuza 3.

As previously announced, the hardware bundle includes a copy of the game and an 80 gigabyte PS3 system. The PS3 system's design was initially kept under wraps, but today Sega revealed that it will be based off the Ceramic White system color and will sport a dragon tattoo design.

The outside packaging for the hardware bundle will closely resemble the packaging for the standard version of the game, with main character Kazuma Kiryu looking to the sky and smoking a cigarette.

Pricing for the bundle is set at 45,980. This represents a savings of about 2,000 yen over buying the game and PS3 separately.

Sega will be producing just 10,000 units of the bundle, so importers will probably want to go about reserving well in advance of the February 26 Japanese release date.
